A: My Internet Disconnects Every Hour

Hi Desu,Sorry for the delay, this forum is quite busy right now.I don't see any signs of malware in this log. It is clean.This forum is dedicated to the diagnosis and removal of infections. Since you seem to be connected to the internet through a wireless router, I recommend that you post your problem on The Bleeping Computer Network Forum. Do not post another HijackThis log there, but please mention that your log has been checked and no malware was found.I do have a couple of recommendations for you. All are summed up in this article by Miekiemoes:http://users.telenet.be/bluepatchy/miekiem...prevention.htmlPay special attention to what she has to say about peer to peer downloading. I see you have Bittorrent installed. Also review your Antispyware and firewall programs (if any) in light of her recommendations. Your Kaspersky Antivirus is fine.Cheers,Dave

Hi, I'm having a problem with the internet. I'm running windows xp and I am connected to a NETGEAR router, but that doesn't matter much, because I tried connected right from my modem to my computer, bypassing my router, and it still disconnects, so it's not the router. Every hour my connection to the internet just shuts off and comes back on almost instantly, maybe 5 seconds. So lets say I get on my computer at 11:27 AM it will cut off at 12:27 PM, 1:27 PM, 2:27 PM, etc. But, if I come on my computer at 11:55 AM, then it will cut off at 12:55 PM, etc.

It comes back on right after. This isn't a problem when it comes to browsing the web and whatnot. It affects my gaming, streaming, and downloading greatly though. When I'm in an online game, I always disconnect at the hour.

Can anyone help me fix this problem? Or explain to me what the problem actually is?

I have tried going into my NIC and un-checking all the options in the power managment tab, still doesn't work. My lease expires 1 day from when it got it, not every hour.

Please help. Thanks.

A:Internet disconnects every hour!

i have a similar problem here too, the internet connection gets cut off from time to time. im with virgin media, using their latest cable modem. the modem connects to a wireless router D-Link DIR-615. then 3 computers connect to the network wirelessly. it's just very odd to see the browser cannot locate pages constantly...

Every hour my internet has a brief "pause", it can be from 3 seconds to a whole minute, it happens every single hour, but not exactly, In example it could happen at 9:12 then at 10:08 then at 11:10 and so on.

its very annoying because it disconnects me from online games. I've called my ISP about 30 times, changed my modem twice, no solution.

I know its from the network and not my PC because i also play on consoles and it happens too.

HI im having a problem with the internet on my desktop. Im running windows xp and the desktop is connected to a router through LAN wiring. Every hour at the 31 min mark (exp: 1:31 , 2:31, 3:31,... etc) my connection to the internet just shuts off for approximately 15 seconds. It comes back on right after. This isn't a problem when it comes to browsing the web and whatnot. It affects my gaming, streaming, and downloading greatly though. When im in an online game, i always disconnect at that mark.

Can anyone help me fix this problem? Or explain to me what the problem actually is?

Also, the router has been updated. There are 2 desktops and 1 laptop in the household. One desktop and the laptop works fine, the desktop im on always disconnects every hour. Please help. Thanks.

Since a day or 4/5 my internet disconnects exactly every hour for a couple of secconds. I don't know how it started but its pretty annoying and i really would like some help with this problem, i searched the internet i've done a full antivirus scan couldnt find anything. I really would like some help with this. Thanks in advance to people who are willing to help me out !

I've had this problem for about a month now: my computer disconnects from the internet every hour. I am using wireless broadband...When it disconnects, I cannot go on any web-pages, however, when I look at the wireless connection, it says that I'm still connected (status: connected).The only way I can re-connect is by restarting my computer, which is really annoying when i'm in the middle of things. One annomally is that I sometimes use Windows Live OneCare Safety Scanner - which is a virus cleaning thing which i think runs via the internet, instead of being a downloaded program: the scan tends to take around 1.5 - 2 hours to complete, during which the internet seems to stay connected. However, once the scan is finished, the internet automatically disconnects...Also, if I have my gmail account already open, it seems to be able to receive mail and I can read mail and send stuff quite a while after the &#8216;disconnect&#8217; (meanwhile, I cant see other webpages). Eventually though, my gmail account also disconnects (maybe around 10-15 mins after I stop having access to other webpages). Don&#8217;t know if this means anything..I share the connection with three other computers in my house, and none have this problem (pc's and macs). Ive been trying to find clues about what it could be, I've read that it might have something to do with my IP renewing or might be a virus, either way im not very technically experienced, so dont know how ...

First--slightly off topic--the only phone in a household should not be via cable company unless the phone is only a luxury. I know that my cable company even advised my neighbor to not switch to them from a landline unless he had a cell phone.

Sounds like a problem somewhere between the place where her service branches off from the main coax cable and the modem. Maybe a loose connection; maybe a defective component; maybe a frayed cable that sometimes contacts something it shouldn't.

- Technicians who have come out during a downtime have stated 'signals are all over the place, no consistent measure'

- Technicians have stated that they are surprised the connection is up because 'your signals are in flux 10-50 dB on every stream and signal'Click to expand...

And those technicians didn't start working backward to find the source of the fault???

If the service is similar to mine outside the residence her cable connects to the company's cable and that junction should be grounded. Carefully check that connection for tightness and for absence of corrosion or rust. Clean it if necessary and protect it if that seems to be needed. Unless that connection is the source of the problem I think that it is up to the technicians to trace the problem back to the source.

I have a Linksys router that disconnects every 45min to 1hr & 15 min. Very annoying. Doesn't matter whether I'm using the computer or not. So I have to disconnect pwr. to the modem and router - wait a min. then connect pwr to modem and router and wait a min. and I'm back on line... what's going on...?? Without the router it never disconnects.I have cable from Comcast an eMachine using XP home.

A:Linksys router disconnects about every hour.

Hi,You may be able to solve the problem by setting the router back to the default configuration. Somebody may have changed the settings on it which cause it do act in that way. Somewhere in the router's configuration, they should be an option to restore factory settings or something similar. Try doing this. If you don't know how, contact the retailer or consult the user manual.If you do this and the problem persists, the problem may be your service provider (ISP). They could have problems due to a lack of servers or too many users. Try contacting them to resolve the issue.Luke.

hey, there has been a recent problem with my internet connection lately with a 1701HG Gateway and my computer. when i first turn on my computer and connect to the internet, it works fine, but after a while (usually about an hour), the internet stops working or works extremely slowly. i checked the status, and it looks like the problem has to deal with the amount of "packets" sent. the number jumps up to hundreds of thousands when it usually gradually increases. the number of packets recieved practically stops, only recieving maybe 2 packets at a time. if i disable the device and then enable it again, the same problem occurs. however, if i turn off my computer and restart it, the internet becomes normal again. that is, just for another hour. i've swept my pc with AVG, ad-aware,and microsoft anti-spyware, but the problem isn't going away. does anyone know how to fix this problem?

if anyone can help with this situation, that'd be great. thanks in advance.

Spyware/malware has seized your machine. You need to post a Hijackthis log, probably just go direct to the security forum for this one.

I'm new here so first off if I'm missing any info or you need anything more specific, just let me know.

About 6 days ago my computer started to crash (as in no shutdown sequence, just straight off) and reboot on the hour, every hour. So 11am, 12pm, 1pm on the dot.

After having bad sector problem in hdd, my battery backup is deceases. My lappy is just only 1 year old from toshiba.
Also an 'x' sign blink on my battery at taskbar showing consider for battery replacing.
but i don't think so that my battery is dying.
Please fix it.
I'm thankful for that.

A:Battery Backup decreases from 4 hour to half an hour

It sure sounds like your battery is dying. Is the laptop still under warranty?

If you remove the battery, will it run on just the power supply without problems?

I am in desperate need of help here. I have HP 1000 notebook which was given to me in free laptop scheme by our Prime Minister. This laptop came with battery of over 4200mz i dnt exactly remember but through out the year 2013 and end of 2012, its battery timing was more then 3 hour, even 1 month ago. But from last couple of weeks it has reduced from 3 hour to 1 hour.

The laptop heats up now and it omits very heated air from side fans.Furthermore,the summer in Pakistan is at the peak. Normal temperature here is between 40 to 45C. I dont use laptop in Air Conditioned room so it heats up. Kindly tell if all laptops do the same or this laptop has some issue.. Kindly suggest any solution for batter. Is it the laptop or the battery has completed its life.

( one more thing. i removed battery for 2 days to put the laptop on ac because the battery on charge makes is too hot to use so i often take out the battery. But it never happened before....)

A:Laptop Batter suddenly reduced from 3 hour to less than 1 hour

Has the laptop ever been cleaned? It it's running hot, the fans will run at higher speed, thus the battery life will be shorter.

Hi, here is the problem. I had one PC and one notebook using the same internet connection (Yahoo AT&T ADSL). The PC is using a Siemens ADSL modem SpeedStream 4100 while the notebook is using wireless (Netgear WGR614 v5). The notebook has no problem with the connection. The problem is on the PC. It has to be restarted in like every 24 hours because of connection error (I knew that the connection is error because it showed that in my Mozilla Firefox weather plugin). I had a virus a while ago and had it removed using help from this forum and since then the internet connection has to be restarted every 24 hours. Can anyone assist me in solving this problem?Thank you in advance for your time.

Okay, so this is really frustrating because I play online a lot and if I disconnect during the middle of a match, even if it's just ~20s, I get slated with the loss.

So there. Forgive my ignorance at most of the terms involved in networking, but I shall try to describe my circumstances as comprehensively as possible, and please just tell me what other information is needed/how to get it so I can help you guys get a clearer picture.

-I lose connection every hour or so; it seems like a fixed interval, although I'm not 100% sure. I can confirm however that I experience this nearly every hour. -When I lose connection, the status bar still looks like this -My connection: I have an H5201 modem set in bridged mode, connected to a Cisco Linksys E1200 router. Everything is wired.-I've opened some ports to allow me to game online better, disabled UPnP, and aside from that left everything that didn't have to do with opening ports to game, or getting the router to work with the modem in bridged mode, to default.-Also have a static IP address; I just followed portforwarding.com's procedure. http://portforward.com/networking/static-win7.htm

That's about it for now. I can get more relevant data, please just tell me how to get it. And again, apologies - I don't really know what to do, and have a very limited understanding of this all, and also for the length of the post, as I thought to include whatever data at present that I thought would be usefu...

Right now i'm on a macbook pro, which is connected to wifi soo i'd have to go on the computer upstairs to run logs and such.... anyways... I've had this problem for a few years now and it's just getting so annoying... for I play a lot of online video games and cannot play longer than an hour or two without getting disconnected. I play on xbox one, i play pc/mac games such as diablo 3, my xbox 360 was terribly effected by the internet being down every few hours... but the xbox one just lags then reconnects sometimes continuing the game.

What i've tried:

Opening DMZ, manually port forwarding, called ISP multiple times.... replaced modem, did nothing... I bought a new router about right when this started happening and that did not help at all. I've tried turning off internet on all of my devices besides one and running it for a while but the internet still dropped. The ISP has come and replaced many wires in and around the house that were getting old... my ISP is Charter. and yes i've tried reseting my router to factory defaults, upgrading firmware, i've reset my router about a million times over the last few years... nothing.

To reconfirm, the internet only goes out for a second or two, and most of my devices use wifi, however devices/computers directly connected the the router/modem still lose connection at the same time.

Alright so I will be playing a game (World of Warcraft) and be watching a stream on Google Chrome and then suddenly both systems will like disconnect. The only way to fix this problem will be to restart the computer. Now this problem usually occurs every 30 mins but I don't know if always at the same time. I know the problem isn't a virus because we went to Geek Squad and they did a 30 minute test to clear up all viruses and the problem still occured. This actaully recently started happening, its not like the computer has always been like this. I am using Windows 8.1 and a Microsoft Tech Support guy said it might be a problem I had upgrading from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 but its not like right when I upgraded to Windows 8.1 this started happening. I am also having troubles with Skype. I type in my information and click login and the login circle just infinitely goes in a loop and never logs in. If you could help me with either of these problems (or both) please comment below. I really want this to be fixed because it is annoying having to restart my laptop every 30 minutes while I'm in the middle of something. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,I have a Lenovo desktop computer...the internet is pretty zippy, but if I step away from the computer for an hour or more, when I return, the internet goes super slow (yahoo takes minutes to load) and some pages get a "page cannot be displayed" error message. Other computers on my network do not have this problem, and if I restart all goes back to normal...any ideas to the cause? Thanks!!

A:Internet goes way slow after an hour of inactivity

A couple of ideas - if you haven't got enough RAM (Less than 512 MB is too low), running a lot of programs will cause your internet browser to do this.

This could also be a malware problem, what you need to find out is if there is limited connectivity OR if something is eating up your bandwidth.

I would suggest you use "firefox" instead of IE if you aren't already

If this is a recent problem, try system restore (start>all programs>accessories>system tools>system restore) select a point before it started happening

This can also be caused by antivirus/firewall software not functioning properly.

I can open IE6 and search with one browser open fine but as soon as i open another it starts to lag and then 30 min to an hour IE6 freezes and i have to close out and restart Can someone please help because this is really getting annoying.I have emptied temp folder and temp internet files and ran norton for viruses,done trend micro online scan and i even had spybot and I thought it was spybot that caused it cause when i downloaded it that is when it all started. I do routine scandisk and disk defrag but nothing seems to help.

2 or 3 days ago IE started opening itself about every hour and I would get a dll error and norton would delete it. Starting today it opens the same but no longer do I get the error message and norton does not see it.

I was working with someone with norton I think but he had to go and suggested this site. Downloaded (First 64) and ran it and got 2 files - Addition.txt and First.txt.

Thank You

Hello everyone,I have been suffering with win 8 ever since i upgraded from win 7. I get bsods every hour almost.

Crashes about 1 hour into use, every time i boot up. Error on bsod critical_process_died. After this, the computer automatically reboots and goes into a blue screen again without ever booting up fully, with error code saying a device couldnt be found. does not specify which device. error code 0xc000000e.

i manually turn off and restart at this point, and system boots in fine. This happens EVERY single time. System config:Windows is installed on its own C drive which is a 64gig ssd drive. 500gig hdd also on board. Regular setup, no raid or anything fancy.

I have windows XP Professional, and the clock is running on the 24-hour plan, which I don't like. I thought it would be easy - just go to date and time on the control panel ... but no such luck. How do I switch over to the 24-hour format?

Recently had many issues with my computer and ended up reinstalling windows. Once i got everything "clean" i ran a malware antibytes scan and cleaned the 30+ files that were left. The computer is running 85% now. The only issues i seem to be having is internet explorer will lag at times for a minute and just freeze, i open task manager and i see the rundll32.exe file is near the top i close that and internet explorer works fine. Occasionally probably 3 times in the past week i'll get hit with a million pop-ups i do a group close and then close the rundll32 file and it goes away. Today i noticed that at exactly every hour my computer would beep, i opened task manager and watched what process's would use my cpu exactly on the hour when the beep happened. The two process i could see were rundll32.exe and winlogon. I'm sorry this is so long hopefully someone can help, below is my hijack log

Hello,The problem is the following: My internet connection breaks every single hour. Yes, every single hour. Like clockwork. The time when it happens changes every day but stays the same during the day. For example today, my connection breaks at XX:14. (11:14, 12:14, 13:14....) This is getting extremely annoying as it keeps disconnecting me from Windows Live, IRC or any online games I happen to be playing.

The problem exists only in my computer, the other two in my home network are unaffected. Operating system is Windows XP Home and I'm connected to internet via a Telewell modem and a Buffalo Airstation router.

I've noticed this in the last few days, but my internet seems to crash at the exact same time (29 past the hour) every hour. We've recently had a new modem in, and was working fine. I recently had a mass clearout of a lot of things in my PC (got rid of 500 gigs), so I'm wondering whether I may have deleted something which has caused this. Wondering whether anyone knew why this is happening and what I can do to resolve.

Recently my internet has been playing up, I connect as usual and its fine for about an hour then it just stops and says "This page could not be displayed" everytime I do something. I have to restart the computer and it works fine for another hour then stops. Im not sure how to fix this but any help would be greatly appreciated.

It started a couple of days ago where I would just randomly lose it (yellow triangle), and the only way to get it back would be to restart my wireless router and then to restart my computer. I have the box in power management tab of my network adapter properties where it can shut it off to save power unchecked. I am connected directly to the wireless router (not wireless).

Is this the only PC that disconnects - do other devices connected work OK - if so how are they connected to the router - wireless or wired

Please post back here the make and exact model of the router and if you have a separate modem, the make and exact model of the modem.

Please make a note of the status of the lights on the modem and on the router when working normally - post that light status here. Now when the internet disconnects make a note of the status of the lights for the modem and router here again. also note which have changed.

Starting a month ago, after I uninstalled and reinstalled System Suite 14, which includes a firewall, on my Win XP Pro system, my internet access would slow to a crawl or be entirely lost, usually after about one hour after rebooting. The uninstall/reinstall of SS14 also caused me to lose access to the Win XP Pro GUI because of deletion of key Win XP Pro files: NTLDR, NTDETECT.com and boot.ini. However, I was able to recover from that problem.

I have tried various winsock and TCP/IP repair programs but with only temporary improvement.

I have attached my Hijackthis log.

Thanks for your assistance, CMA

Hello and thank you,It seems that every three or four hours our computer will just lose all connection, even the modem shows we don't have one. We have had four cox repairmen come, and all claimed they had fixed a simple problem. They didn't. So whenever this happens all we can do is wait or repeatedly unplug and plug stuff. Obviously we have no clue what is going one. Can somebody help.

I have a Compaq Presario-AMD Athlon 64-3500+-512mb-200gb. Running windows xp sp3, updated and malware clean. I am stuck with dialup connection until [email protected] upgrades our area. I sometimes leave my pc running a download all night. I usually use orbit downloader but some downloads work better with no manager. Since I reinstalled windows my connection gets disconnected at at different times and redials the connection, but only at night when I leave it downloading a large file. In internet connection I have checked "never dial a connection". It is just an annoyance but I would like to fix it. Any help will be appreciated. I forgot to say that I use IE7 and have tried connection keeper ( with same results). Tried firefox several times but it was slower than IE on my pc. Thanks again. Lots of good advice on this site.

When I turn on the Internet (I have a modem), it works fine until I turn other programs on then the Internet basically turns off, but the computer says I'm still connected to the Internet. Why is this doing this and why is the Internet turning off?

If I'm downloading something off the Internet say a game demo or a game update the Internet would just turn off like I said before and then I would have to disconnect and then reconnect and try redownloading and sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't.

I found a pattern or it's just coincidence, but when the downloading box isn't the main thing selected for a while the Internet turns off. Someone please help and don't tell me to ask my ISP he's the other word for donkey.

Even though it appears you're having the same problem, please start a new thread when you have a new issue. It's very difficult to keep two problems straight and who's working on what in a single thread.

I got my dsl modem like a month ago and its been EXCELLENT. Fast speed, never disconnects, its great. But i dont know whats hapenning now cuz every once in a while, it disconnects and i get a message that popups on the taskbar that says "a network cable has been unplugged". What i do is i either unplug and then plug one of the cables that are connected to the modem (like the phone cable or the power cable) and then it works again. What can be causin this if i am not unpluggin anything why am i gettin this message and why might it be disconnecting? Thanks in advance.

I am having an issue with frequent media disconnects. Upon booting my system, browsers do not connect to the internet. A restart fixes the problem for a while and the system eventually disconnects again. I have hardwired cable and supplier provided cable modem. The system says I am connected but browsers don't function until a soft restart. My PC is for personal use and is owned by me. I have recently added Spybot AV and previously used Windows Defender. McAfee in the distant past. None of them show much and if they do and the item is fixed, I still experience the same media disconnects.

Next I would try a couple of things. Start off with a power cycle of your equipment, and see if that helps. Next you would need to narrow it down to what is causing the problem. Does it only happen when you are using chrome or does it happen with other browsers, more to the point does it happen with other programs that use the internet like email, instant messaging, etc. Are you running any programs that allow you to torrent, that can cause issues with your connection.

I have a problem of being disconnected from the Internet. It usually occurs about the same time at night. I connect, then get kicked off after about a minute. This happens repeatedly. This continues for anywhere from a few minutes to an hour before I can stay connected again. I use IE browser. This does not happen during idle times. It happens when I am actively surfing. Any ideas on how to solve this? My ISP is no help.

Hi AllI have been having internet disconnects every since I have had VISTA. It is the same that used to occur in WIN ME & 98. It happens when you spend a long time surfing on one web site. There was a fix for this problem then and I have forgotten it. It is not my server as I have another computer with WIN 98SE and it does not happen. I have to cycle my DSL modem off & on to reconnect. I am connected through a router to a second computer and to the modem and the second computer stays connected. The internet icon (lower right display) will indicate local only is connected. Any help would be great. Forum

If you're using a laptop or server, the network card may be configured to go into power saving mode releasing the IP address after a set amount of time of non-activity.

Which version of Windows Vista are you using? Vista is known to have plenty of networking issues on it's own so it may be worth searching Microsoft's KB (Knowledge Base) at www.microsoft.com if you're familiar with it.

Also your computer system mentions a Dell E-520 which appears to be a standard desktop PC, would you be able to confirm this?

Finally, if you could post the results of an "ipconfig /all" while the network is connected and then when it becomes unavailable, this would help troubleshoot the problem.

Hello everyone, I'm running a windows 7 operating system and I need help I've been having this issue for a few weeks. Usually when I download something big or stream my internet on my PC specifically will go out and I cannot get it back unless I restart my pc I have tried ipconfig/renew and I get the unable to contact DHCP.

Now saying that, I have tried other methods that don't work at all however my wifi works perfectly on my phone and other devices in the household and it is only my pc. I am connected via Ethernet as well but I also sometimes use a wireless adapter however have not experienced the internet go out using the adapter but for network adapter I have updated drivers, tried different ports as well as using different cables and none of those have helped I've looked up many solutions and none seem to work please help thanks

I should also mention the ethernet port on my pc is burnt out because of a thunder storm so I am using a USB to ethernet adapter

Every so often when i am on the internet it disconnects and i cant open any web pages. The connection is still there in the bottom right hand corner, ip address etc. are still there but web pages wont open. I try to repair but i have to reboot to make it work again. I am using a laptop on a wireless connection, think this also may have something to do with the freezes it get occasionally.

Any ideas would be appreciated

Welcome to TSF.

We will take a look at your system for malware, but it's unlikely the cause of loss of connection. If we can't locate a problem, you will be encouraged to ask for advice in the Networking forum, here at TSF.

Download HiJackThis - this program will help us determine if there are any spyware/malware on your computer. Create a folder at C:\HJT and move HiJackThis.exe there. Double click on the program to run it.

1. If it gives you an intro screen, just choose [Do a system scan and save a logfile].2. If you don't get the intro screen, just hit [Scan] and then click on [Save log].3. Post the HiJackThis.log file here. Do not fix anything in HiJackThis since they may be harmless.

So heres the deal.Ive recently upgraded from windows XP 32 bit to Windows 7 64bit, this ofcourse means Ive formatted my harddrives and made a clean install.But now Ive realised, that whenever I try to download a large file which takes several minutes, my computer will disconnect from the router and I have to let windows do its thing and it says its "Resetting Network card" After this I have to reboot the PC and yet again let windows do its thing where it tells me to let it reactivate my network card. When Ive done this Ill be connected to the internet again. Ive tried to let my PC run for several hours just to make sure its not random dc's but within 5 mins of me starting a download it dc's. I can browse around just fine and have tried countless of different solutions around the web and none have helped so far. Now I beg you to give me Every single possible solution that you guys can think of. Keep in mind that I have another PC running vista connected to the router and that one works just fine, and I never had this problem on XP.Also please keep in mind that Im not all that techie when it comes to router settings and such, so keep it simple for the sake of my brain not overheating!

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a network driver problem but I don't see any network driver downloads fro Windows 7 X86 or X64 on the ASUS site for the Gigabit network device.

As a test, remove the router from the setup and connect directly to the broadband modem. Try a download and see what happens. If it fails the same way then the router is definitely involved. If it doesn't fail then try swapping the port and cable the router is connected to with the one currently in use by the Vista computer then try the test again.

If it works then it is either the Ethernet cable or some problem with that specific port on the router. If it doesn't make any difference, then try deleting the Gigabit network device from Device Manager as follows:

Press WinKey+R to open a Run box.Type devmgmt.msc and press EnterExpand Network AdaptersRight click on the Gigabit device and select UninstallReboot and wait while Windows 7 rediscovers the device and reloads the driver, see if that helps.
